I am raising money for St Mike's Church as I prepare to take on the Dart 10k Swim on September 14, 2025. This personal challenge is not just about swimming further than I've ever swam before; it’s about making a real difference in our community.

Our church building is in urgent need of support to continue our vital ministry and mission to those in need. We have two main areas that require immediate attention: our kitchen and our roofs. Both are essential for us to serve the most vulnerable members of our community effectively.

We are planning to expand our Food Bank provision to include community meals, to grow our own church Youth group, and continue supporting rough sleepers and those at risk of homelessness with the help of Faithworks. To achieve this, we need a building that is safe and watertight, along with a kitchen that is hygienic and functional.

Please consider donating £500 to support this cause. While buildings may not seem exciting, they are absolutely necessary for the work we do. Just think of all the lives you will help transform, giving individuals a chance to make a new start in life while hopefully encountering the risen Christ along their journey.
